These days I lubricate all the rubber O-rings on all my filters, even my
Emperors.

I've done that on my eheims ever since one sprung a surprise on me one
night
after I'd gone to bed. Eheim actually supply a tube of petroleum jelly
with
the filter, but its role was forgotten until that incident.

Motto: Always lubricate rubber O-rings when you service the filter :-)


I lubed and it still went out a month after the lubbing. Still leaked.
